What engine does the new Transit use?
2 Answers
Ford's new Transit is equipped with the Ford 2.0T-PUMA-TDCi diesel engine, which significantly reduces PM and NOx emissions while ensuring power output with economic and environmental benefits. Fuel consumption: The diesel version offers strong economic performance with lower operating costs, achieving a fuel consumption of only 7.6L/100km as published by the MIIT. The gasoline version provides stronger power, with a maximum horsepower of 202Ps, lower working noise, and better comfort. Transmission: The new Transit specially adopts a 6-speed transmission. During driving, this transmission feels very smooth when shifting gears. What's impressive is that it delivers good power when starting in low gear. Thanks to the original imported Ford steering system, the steering wheel operates very lightly. The four-spoke steering wheel from the Focus offers moderate power assistance, and when combined with the hydraulic clutch, the operating effort is not much different from that of a sedan.
I've driven the new Transit several times, and it usually comes with a 2.0-liter diesel engine, such as the EcoBlue series, which provides sufficient power for daily use. It feels quite stable on the highway, and while the acceleration isn't particularly fast, it's strong enough. The engine noise is well-controlled, much quieter than the older models, making long-distance driving much more comfortable. The spacious interior is a real advantage, suitable for both cargo hauling and family trips. Fuel efficiency is decent—a full tank can cover around 500-600 kilometers, and in the city, it consumes about 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers, keeping maintenance costs low. Maintenance is straightforward, requiring only regular oil changes, with no major issues—it's highly reliable. This engine is quite common in the Ford family, so parts are easy to find and repairs aren't expensive, making it a great choice for families or small businesses. Overall, it's practical and hassle-free.
